Searcy (McCourty will be to expensive)
I would take a look at Wiesniewski, Kendrick Lewis, Jeron Johnson, Stevie Brown, Ron Parker
-
I would like Shelton, if I could pick anyone. I know he'll be long gone when we pick @ #29.

Free agents are just band aids to cover a need. Top notch free agent linemen are very expensive. Most who hit the free market are either past their prime or have some other problems. Good linemen are kept because they are hard to find. JMO
Nothing wrong with "band aids". FA is just as important as, and similar to, the draft. It all comes down to smart decisions.
D'Qwell Jackson and Arthur Jones was smart decisions, and improved our team significantly this season. I'll take that any day.
-
If we take an RB, I would be okay with Jay Ajay in the third.
I kinda have feeling that Perryman is not a 1st rounder, even if he might be the best ILB this year along with McKinney. It's not a very impressive crop of ILB's this year.
-
Demaryius Thomas would be nice. But I can't see it happen. He'll get paid big money somewhere else.

Clearly we won't get this but i'm just thinking are these reasanoble prices just to get a few curious on this
Orlando Franklin from Broncos?
Nate Allen from Eagles?
Darian Stewart from Ravens?
Sure we would all love to see Houston & JPP, and if he could behave like a normal person, Suh. But it doesn't have to be flashy.
Jackson wasn't the flashiest FA signing ever made, but he's had a good season for us.
...oh, I hear good things about this guy who's with the Dolphins. Satele, he's supposed to be the next big thing. Swoop Grigson. Swoop.

Free Agency and the Draft can't be separated. We need better to improve both defense and O-line, so Grigson will be looking at FA/Draft as a whole.
Cowboys have the best O-line in football currently, and suddenly they're contenders and Romo looks like an elite QB and DeMarco Murray looks like a hall of famer. I'm sure that had we had their O-line, Luck would be this years MVP.
But unfortunately, we don't and our QB gets hit way to much and our running game is, at best, mediocre.
A good RT and a Guard would be nice. An elite C would be nice, but that won't happen.
-
some of that is simply due to volume. Luck is attempting more passes than any other QB therefore he's exposed to more possible hits than any other QB. it would help tremendously if they got back to a more balanced offense.
That may be. But our O-line is still, by far, the weakest point of our team, and protecting the player the whole thing is being build around, should be the primary concern.
So far, we haven't been very succesful at that, when no other QB in the league gets hit as much as he does.
-
The bad part is...... Our offensive line this year is so much better than it was last year. That just goes to show how bad they actually were.
Seriously though, I think our offensive line is doing an okay job this season. Every posistion had a bad game vs the Steelers besides maybe the WR's.
When your franchise QB is the one who is getting sacked/hit the most in the entire league, your O-line is NOT doing "an okay job".
We need improvement. A lot of it, and fast before Luck gets hurt.
-
Huge loss.
With Mathis gone for the season, I predict we get fewer sacks all season than Mathis had last season.
There's just no way we can expect to replace one of the top pass rushers in the game.
-
The interior of the O-line is still a concern to me. The tackles did more than fine against Broncos. Can't expect them to win every single duel against players like DeMarcus Ware. That's unreasonable.
But we still need to upgrade the middle of the line. Won't happen this year.
-
We need to look at the Redskins for a potential pick up. They have Ryan Clark, Brandon Merriwather, Tanard Jackson, Phillip Thomas and Bacari Rambo.
Hopefully they cut Tanard Jackson and we give him a go.
You should always try to sign or trade for someone named Rambo. A Rambo/Norris safety tandem would be nice
-
If the 2015 draft goes down, exactly, like this, I will get a Patriots logo tattooed on my forehead. Promise, pinky swear and all that

Are you saying that we have a ton of quality at WR?
Can you explain how that is?
If we had a ton of quality, why didn't we beat the Patriots? Why did Andrew Luck throw 7 interceptions in the postseason if our passing game is such high quality?
I'm just trying to understand how you see a WR core that features:
-Aging Veteran coming off a serious injury
-Veteran who's been injured the past few years constantly
-One proven WR who can be very explosive but can disappear out of the game at times
-A poor man's Austin Collie who while is very good at moving the chains, can easily be replaced
- A WR who barely touches the field despite being here since Grigson got here
- And last but not least, a very raw WR who has the potential to be a good #1 but hasn't tapped into that potential yet
So explain to me how that's a high quality WR core?
The "aging veteran coming off an injury", was still one of the best WRs in the league last season.
"The disappearing WR" I assume is T.Y. - Like most players, he has has ups and downs, but he's still one of the biggest playmakers in the game and his stats show that.
Sure we can all find a bunch of "if's" and "but's", but Reggie, T.Y., Nicks, Rogers, Brazill and Whalen is still a very solid group of WRs, well above average. Sure it's not Megatron, Julio Jones, A.J. Green, Demaryius Thomas, Victor Cruz and Wes Welker, but that group of WRs is still high quality. Now other parts of our team could need a lift in quality, significantly more than our WRs and, personal opinion coming up, would rather have used that pick on other areas of our team where we will look paperthin really fast with an injury to a starting player. If we have an injury to Reggie or Nicks, we'll still be able to field players who can move the chains and put points on the board.
I'm fully aware that Reggie won't last forever, but there will be other drafts and other FA periods, so getting someone able to catch the football for the future could have been postponed for a year.
Why we didn't beat the Patriots? Do you really think we lost that game because of our WRs?
How about not being able to stop a mediocre RB from walking all over us?
We lost because the Patriots were the better team, and they showed that all night.
Is Andrew Lucks interceptions all about the WRs? How about Andrew Luck, doesn't he carry some of the blame? How about the O-line in that matter, no part of the responsibility there? It's really all down to the WRs simply sucking?
-
Clearly you don't understand how the draft works. Grigson and Pagano didn't think there was a safety available that was better than anyone already on the roster. Simply drafting a player because he plays a position of need doesn't make it a good pick.
I agree that picking for need isn't always a smart move.
But the same case could also be made for using your picks at a position where you already have a ton of quality.
And to be honest, when you have zero depth outside someone who is transitioning to Safety, perhaps picking up someone in the late rounds wouldn't have been more of a gamble than Ulrich John, Andrew Jackson or Jonathan Newsome.
Sometimes it seems like a lot of posters on this board thinks that whatever Grigson decides, it just the right decision by default. Pure perfection, it's impossible for him to make a bad call.
- Holmes is going to be "all that",
- Thornton is going to be a good NFL caliber Guard.
- The T-Rich saga
- Last years draft
- Heyward-Bey
Grigson is not somehow "The Immaculate GM", he makes mistakes like every other GM and every other person I've come across in my life. It's not black/white. Some calls are good to varying degrees, other are, shall we say, less than good, to varying degrees.
If you're onboard the "In Grigson we trust" train, where everything Grigson does is all kittens and rainbows, and this years draft was "a slamdunk if there ever was one", then please stay in your seat.
This years draft was, just like last year, beige at best.
I would challenge you to find me a fan of any other NFL team, that looks at our draft this year and says "I wish my team had a draft like the Colts". It would be easy for me to find 10 teams I would love to trade drafts with, even if we don't even count first round picks..
-
We don't need a WR?
You think Reggie is gonna play forever?
Or let me guess. You're one of those guys who had already projected Rogers as the next Rice, and Whalen as the next Welker...
No, we didn't need a WR.
No, I don't think Reggie will play forever. I do however expect him to play at minimum next season. And I could easily see him play two seasons.
No, I'm not someone who believes Rogers/Whalen is the next WR superstar in the NFL. The same goes for Brazill for that matter.
But I do think that for the coming season, a WR corps of Reggie, Nicks, T.Y., Brazill, Rogers and Whalen would have been more than sufficient. In fact I think that we were better at WR than any other team I can think of, in terms of quality depth.
Last I heard, there will also be a draft in 2015 and most likely also in 2016 (I hear they at least thinking about it), and I've also heard that college WRs will be able to declare for that draft as well, so we might be able to find a WR in the draft at some point, if we really need one, and can't find one that's any good in FA.
Drafting a WR just because we might need him in a year or two is just fine, because it gives the coaches time to develop him, but taking a CB or a FS for depth and development is just plain wrong? Even if we have no depth at all at those positions, but have a ton of WRs?
Yes, Moncrief is a good player, but he wasn't the only good player left in the draft, and I feel that Grigson could have spent the pick better then on a WR.
-
Congrats HGRekks
Wow.. We all swung... a whole lot of misses :clap:
-
Mewhort looks like someone who can play several positions on the O-line, so I'm okay with that pick, even if I had hoped for something else before the draft.
Moncrief might be a good WR prospect, but I'm still not a fan of that pick.
Newsome.. I don't know much about him.
Overall, it's not really a draft that gets me very excited

-
1 - Texans will trade the #1 pick to Falcons
2 - 49'ers will make a blockbuster trade
3 - There will be at least 4 trades in the first round
4 - One of those trades will involve Raiders moving down.
5 - A minimum of 5 OT will go in the first round, 4 of them in the top 10.
6 - No RB will go in the first round.
7 - Only one TE will be picked in the first round
8 - Bridgewater wil fall out of the first round
9 - The Colts will not pick @ #59, but earlier.
10 - I will have a strong urge to strangle someone and/or break stuff if I hear the name "Manziel" mentioned again before he is picked.
-
Slightly off-topic: What do you think the Texans wind up doing tomorrow? I feel like they're going to trade down...
It can go two ways:
1 - They just pick the best player in the draft (Clowney)
2 - They feel that there is better value in trading down and getting more early picks next year, while still being able to grab a top talent in the first round (could be at several different positions) and perhaps scoop up one of the better QB's at the top of the second round (perhaps McCarron or Bridgewater).
I have a feeling they'll go for the second option.
J.J. Watt and Clowney together, does sound like a handful, but let's see how Clowney does in the NFL before we book his place in the Hall of Fame.
